My son turns 11 next month.
Looks like I'm long overdue for some new glasses.
Some of you may be thinking, Wait, I didn't know you wear glasses! Yep. But mostly just on the weekend mornings when I haven't made it out of my pjs or if I'm sick (...or hungover). But nonetheless, I really need to be a little more in style.
Problem is, anytime I try on a few pairs at my eye check-up appointment at the local big box eye chain, I never see anything I like. They all remind me of middle-aged, office worker glasses. I'm not going down that road.
So I tried Warby Parker. I picked five styles online that I liked and they sent them to me to try on with free shipping both ways and no obligation to buy. That's right, I said free! And best of all, if I find a pair I want, it only costs $95 for both the frames and my prescription.
So of course I had to give it a try. The styles are what I would call "geek chic" and I've been admiring similar styles on people I see around town. Way out of my normal look, but since I usually just wear my glasses at home, I think I can have a little fun with this style.
I ordered five pairs, and a couple of days later, they arrived. They came with clear lenses so I could try them on and wear them around. Here's the four that I liked:

style: Baxter Ti color: Whiskey Tortoise |
![]() |
style: Sims color: Striped Sassafras |

style: Theo color: Blue Marblewood |
![]() |
style: Welty color: Whiskey Tortoise |
Here they all are again, next to each other.
So, what do you think? Which one should I get? Which one should I not get? Can I pull this style off? Post a comment in the box below to have your say!

I actually like them all, but if I can only pick one pair...then #2 it is!

ReplyDeleteI my opinion (you asked) these are all too large for our face. I suggest that you try a smaller size. I think that you will find that it will make a big difference.
